...weather.1 The family alleged that the 19-year-old driver was speeding to meet Domino’s guarantee to deliver a pizza within 30 minutes. Domino’s argued that weather and road conditions were the real cause of the accident and refused to change its 30-minute guarantee. Not only was the guarantee popular with its customers, it also set Domino’s apart from its numerous rivals in a highly competitive and crowded business.2 Domino’s Pizza was founded in 1960 when two brothers, Tom and Jim Monaghan purchased a pizza store in Ypsilanti, Michigan. A year later Jim traded his half of the business to his brother for a Volkswagen Beetle and Tom Monaghan became sole owner. By 1983, the company had expanded to 1000 restaurants. Ten years later the company was well on its way to owning over 4000 outlets within the United States, and over 500 outside the United States. In addition, over 1000 Domino’s Pizza restaurants were owned by others as franchise operations. Domino’s had become the fastest growing pizza company in the world. Analysts felt that the key to Domino’s rapid expansion was a promotion that it launched in 1984: guaranteed 30-minute delivery. Initially, the company advertised that if pizza was not delivered within 30 minutes it was free. This was later changed to a guarantee of delivery within 30 minutes or a $3 refund. The company required all franchisees in the United States to sign a contract agreeing to use the 30minute guarantee. Driver training manuals made the...

...SMARTPHONE USE CAN BE LIFE THREATENING Steven Crawford Baker College Smartphone use can be Life Threatening Driving down the road, on the right the driver is swerving, to the front the car does not seem to be able to maintain its speed. What could be going on, are the drivers drunk or perhaps having a medical emergency? Truth is the drivers are using their smartphones while they are driving. This is a theme that is becoming more and more apparent as technology becomes cheaper. New innovations bring more to the consumer’s finger tips than ever before. Smartphones can now be used as onboard GPS units, they have the ability to stream video or watch downloaded movies, texting, calling, almost anything imaginable can be accomplished with these newer devices but what they cannot do is improve a drivers skills or driving habits, in fact in most cases these devices impair one’s ability to drive safely. Smartphone/cell phone use needs to be banned from use in automobiles except to use for hands free communication only. How can this problem be addressed so that the drivers of this Nation can feel safe without wondering what the driver next to them is doing on their cell phone. A Federal proposal that would ensure a nationwide ban on cell phone use while driving would help accomplish this. The proposal would allow officers to stop any driver that is using a cell phone as a primary offense. This means that if you have a cell phone in your hands for any reason you can be stopped for it.

With some lenders warming up to owneroperators, don't miss the chance to improve your rating and save thousands of dollars in interest payments. BY LUCINDA COULTER S teve Diamond hoped his second attempt at being an owner-operator would work. But in 2009, the 54-year-old native resident of Mansfield, Ohio, had to scramble to keep a 2003 Freightliner Columbia. Shortly after he purchased the truck through his carrier, its S1,400 monthly payment got to be too much. It didn't help that he was trying to pay off a credit card balance that had grown at 21 percent when he worked as a company driver for three years and job-hopped after his first go-round at owning a tractor. Diamond, now leased to Marten Transport, listened to financial advice, made an effort to run more miles 38 OVERDRIVE JULY 2012 and slowed credit card payments. "If you hang in there and work your way through it, it gives you that much more confidence," he says. In January 2011, he paid off his truck. Now his revenue is 5 to 7 percent higher than it was with his previous carrier in his current work hauling food products. Diamond was hardly alone in taking on large debt during the recession. While he was able to climb out of it, many owneroperators have been hamstrung by factors such as slow freight, expensive job changes, fuel costs, family illness or other...

...all who use them. This work involves driver licensing and ensuring that new and renewing drivers are aware of safety’s critical role when behind the wheel. For the state’s youngest drivers, obtaining your license is a time of joy and freedom, but it comes with great responsibility. Two years ago Connecticut imposed tougher teen driving laws for 16and 17-year-old drivers. These laws, along with stiffer penalties, were put into place to keep you safe on the road as you learn and become a more experienced driver. It takes time and practice. We hope you understand that the laws and penalties are in place to help reduce crashes, injuries and deaths. We want to remind all license holders that driving is a privilege and not a right. Connecticut has specific laws, such as speeding, driving too fast for conditions, reckless driving, driving under the influence, and others that aim to protect all people on the road whether vehicle drivers, passengers or pedestrians. Distracted driving, including the use of phones while driving, has been noted as a contributing factor in many serious accidents. We urge all drivers to remain focused on the task at hand – operating the motor vehicle safely when under your control. Driving is a constant learning experience and it takes complete concentration at all times. Connecticut will be a safer place for all to drive if everyone drives more carefully. Both new drivers and experienced drivers will find many useful tips and explanations in this manual to accomplish...
